The Clear and Sunny Days continue.
Thought For The Day:
Get mad,
then get over it.
~Colin Powell
Getting angry, feeling mad, and being upset. These are all emotional responses. We human beings can't stop our emotional reactions to situations and happenings that are not according to plan or expectation. An easy example is when another driver cuts in without signalling while on the highway.
If we realise that emotional responses are just that; AUTOMATIC RESPONSES, then we should let them happen for the proper time, enough time for the cursing and brief flash of high-blood pressure. Then say "OK, now that I have let the anger run its course, its back to business as usual".
But you can't get over it if you didn't get mad first!
Note that there are two distinct separate phases there. The first phase is the emotional response phase. Don't make any physical reaction during this phase; it will only be a rash response that you will regret later.
